The attitude, divide, all just as bad and now it's far more out in the open.

With political crackpots actually in the House and Senate leading it.

Maybe it was my subconscious, since I hadn't been thinking about JFK or this anniversary. But a couple weeks ago I had a long stretch on a trip so I put the 11-22-63 miniseries on my tablet so I could watch the whole thing in one sitting.
